This was a bucket list trip for us and wow, did it not disappoint.. From the minute we arrived at the seaplane lounge, it was just luxury and hospitality and friendliness. Welcomed by Guillaume and Vishant and settled into our wonderful sunset view overwater villa with hot tub. The room was more than perfect. We were not sure we would use the hot tub in 32 degrees, but we did twice a day! We actually didn't even sit on a sun lounger for more than 15 minutes in 8 nights. We went from breakfast to coffee and cake to lunch and then cocktails and supper, in between .... snorkelling and visiting the gym and walking round...... Every single meal we had was just sublime, we looked forward to every one. We were on the Dine Around meal plan and got to experience all the restaurants and couldn't fault a thing. The attentiveness without being over the top and genuine friendly manner of all the staff was what made the holiday. Every member whether conservation team, gardeners, housekeeping, bar or restaurant staff, always greeted you with a smile and the ability to know our names was very special. There are too many to mention, but special mention should go to the Kofee n'Chill guys Aminal and Pradeep.... They were great company and always knew before we did what we wanted.....Chandana in the Cuisine Gallery ran a tight ship and perfection in service. But tbh absolutely EVERY single member of staff were incredible. My husband did a diving trip with Jacob and I had a visit to the spa, both experiences top notch. The sunset cruise was also a lovely treat to sit back and look at the beautiful island whilst sipping champagne. Onto the snorkelling,.... every day we snorkelled twice and we were incredibly lucky to see a turtle on our first day... Then the fun continued with many many different species of fish and lots of sharks, behind our villa we regularly saw eagle ray, 4 in a row one day and then at low tide, swam right over a porcupine ray. Awesome! Yes, the coral is bleached but everywhere has suffered and the amount of variety of sights when snorkelling was brilliant. This is a 5 star resort without the trappings and fanciness of that.... But just pure luxury at every turn. Please do not hesitate.... It was indeed a holiday of a lifetime and we feel lucky that ..although it took a long time to decide on a resort, we believe we couldn't have chosen better. I dream we can return.... one day!
